Why would I care about comparing our democracy to old socialist states? Firstly, this is a democracy, regardless of who is President there are checks and balances. Secondly, there has never been a social democracy that has been in power. Stop trying to use old socialism to compare what Sanders espouses. You sound like a royal douche. And anyone who thinks the Canadian is getting elected sports a tinfoil hat and soiled diapers. The only thing you keep doing is making yourself look ignorant. Have you no shame boy?
